Yes, they always seem to be done with wheels that are only lightly dusty, like they were washed 3 days ago. It you want to show how well your wheel cleaner or wheel cleaning tool works, at least use a dirty wheel, as in one without wheel wax or sealant on it that has been driven for at LEAST 2 weeks, if not 3 or 4.

Really good point, but as a business, their main objective overwhelmingly isn't to educate as much as sell - which it should be. I see where you're coming from though, 101%!

Re: How to... detailing videos !!!
I could do this all day, (post pictures showing the swirls in the paint in the cars we used for videos), but I'm not going to because I always have lots to do.
The point being, the primary focus of a video is to share technique.
Why?
Because most people watching a how-to video are trying to learn what to do when they go out into their garage.
Thus showing technique, the way you use the tool, could be done on paint in bad condition or good condition. It means more if you show the before and after results on paint in bad condition but technique "could" be shown on any condition of paint.
The first video I made is a full-length DVD showing how to buff out a car from start to finish on a swirled-out 1960 Corvette. It's completely filled with tips and techniques I use when I buff out a car. It was made in 2006 and it's still available from Richard Lin at ShowCarDetailing.com and other places on the Internet.
Note I don't make a dime on this DVD as I made it when I worked for Meguiar's without their permission and in order to keep my job I had to promise to stop making videos on my own time and turn the rights over to the DVD to Richard.
But to my knowledge, this DVD Richard and I made is the ONLY video ever made using the same car from beginning to end, that was in horrific condition and we put a show car finish on it and shared all the steps needed to do the job.
We've discussed shooting a similar DVD here at Autogeek but it is incredibly time intensive and to be honest, once you show how to use any polisher to one section, the rest of that step is just repeating that procedure to the rest of the car and most people won't watch it because it's repetitive.
If you want techniques, and not repetitiveness, here you go and even if the cars look "shiny" in the pictures or videos, the paint still had defects that can only be seen when purposefully filmed using a video camera. All the cars used in the below videos had paint in bad condition.
